Default WOW !!! Are they ever BRIGHT !!!

I just powered one on and They are so bright I might have to down size the Design. LOL

I attached 2 X AA batteries in series and attached it to a RB LED and WOW. I got dizzy so did my wife and I only looked at it for 4 secs. It's extremely bright and might have to downsize. We will see.

Also If anyone is interested in LED Drivers let me know he will see what is in stock and let me know when the next order is.

thanks
erick

Default :(

To be honest I could have done about 80 % of it today and monday but ran out of Artic Silver 5 and won't get any till wednesday or so. I can't leave cause I'm on call and can only go to Edmonton (which is 2 hours away) after work on Wednesday. This sucks!!! This was my plan for the long weekend.

Default Best wire Stripper in the WORLD!!! WOW

Hey guys

So I bought this wire stripper made by Paladin Tools (pricey but worth every Penny !$100) I stripped about 400 wires in 30 mins. Amazing. Use to take me hours doing that before. I will post a photo now.

take a look.

I will also start epoxying the optics before I solder cause it won't sit flush if I solder first.

I'll keep you posted.

thanks
erick
